“No Kings” crowd

| October 27, 2025

Oh look – custom-fit costumes

In an article the New York Post reprinted from a  Fox News lady, Sarah Rumpf-Whitten, (want to make sure she gets full credit)  there was one predominant demographic at the No Kings marches held nationwide last weekend: college-educated white liberal women in their ’40s.

At last weekend’s “No Kings” protest in Washington, D.C., inflatable chickens bobbed above a crowd that, according to demographic research, was made up mostly of educated White women in their 40s.

Psychotherapist Jonathan Alpert said the “No Kings” protests were a snapshot of an era when emotional catharsis and civic activism have begun to blur.

“What we’re seeing is a kind of group therapy playing out in the streets,” he told Fox News Digital.

The protest, which drew thousands to the nation’s capital and similar rallies across the country, was aimed at denouncing what participants described as President Donald Trump’s “kingship” and blatant authoritarianism.

Guess they missed that if he was a blatant authoritarian, there would have BEEN no marches. Do they not know how that works?

Group therapy in the streets… which implies someone needs therapy…  hmmm. By now a male author would have been pelloried, true?

“The ‘No Kings’ movement allows people to feel belonging and community,” Alpert said. “Sharing grievances with like-minded people feels good, but it doesn’t necessarily change anything.”

Dunno about that – they wanted “No Kings”, we don’t have a king –  mission accomplished, right? But seriously.

That fleeting catharsis, Alpert added, can also mask something darker.

“A lot of times people are unhappy in their own lives,” he said. “They may have anxiety or anger, and they project that onto others. That’s partly what we’re seeing play out at these rallies.”

“People are craving community, and this gives them a place to channel that. They’re surrounded by others who validate how they feel, and that validation can be addictive,” he said. “Some protesters are equating the ‘No Kings’ movement with the Civil Rights Movement. In their minds, there’s an equivalency, but there really isn’t. They want to be part of something historically meaningful, and that longing can distort perspective.”NY Post

As a curmudgeon (that’s a fancy word for “jerk”) of several decades’ standing, to me it sounds a bit pathetic. I guess that’s just another facet of the folks who join extremist organizations as a way to “belong”.

Instead of “No Kings”, this rabble should have been labeled “No Kommon Sense”.

All I can say is; “well, kids; you said you don’t want “kings” in the U.S. of A. and by gum…you got your wish…there ain’t a single KING in charge of any gubmint in the Unite State Places of Merica where you all believe you lives in.

Here is what I and many others noticed :
1-No black people
2-Boomers & the AWFL single daughters
3-Simualtaneous protests in England & EU countries had to change the name because those countries actually have Kings
4-It ended promptly like they are on the clock until 1PM
5-1000 nanograms of testosterone for the ENTIRE crowd

The EU and UK “no kings” version was renamed “No Non-Ceremonial Kings”.

In my locale, those that didn’t look like they were bused in from an old folks home appeared to had been brought from homeless shelters and mental hospitals. OH and yes, the crowd was lily-white. Adding to that was it was scheduled from 1200-1400 at one town, 1400-1700 at another, then 1800-2000 at the final one, showing that they indeed WERE busing a number of their paid useful idiots from one place to another to go screech!

From what I see, the dems seem to revolve around finding some simple slogan, allegedly meaning “something”, that the simple minded can shout in crowds accomplishing nothing. I suppose it makes them happy but really seems totally fruitless in action. That is if you don’t count the fruit loops chanting said slogan.

Someone should have gone around with fart spray or worse and sprayed it into the costume fans.

Unfortunately, a similar social construct has been happening across the country for the past decade or so: Groups of junior high girls suddenly decide they are boys, or Vice versa, just to gain the approval of their social group, and along come adult morons who support and substantiate those feelings.

I wish they would go back to planking on the interstate or taking the Tide pod challenge and be done with it.

If Trump was an absolute monarch, these insane moonbats would all be in chains awaiting their ride in the tumbrils to their execution site. Try their antics in North Korea and they would see up close and personal what a real authoritarian police state looks like.

Are these the same angry women that protest sexual oppression by cosplaying rape fantasy dressed as ketchup bottles?

I didn’t realize LSD had made such a comeback.
